Am I seeing shit? A fit parent with an out of shape kid? No, it's true!! The kid trying to keep up is saying, "Mommy!" Now I try not to jump to conclusions. Maybe the kid has a medical issue, but this isn't the first time I have witnessed this. What are the chances that every obese child with a fit parent has a medical condition or is on meds that has the child gain and keep weight on? I don't think so. Are these parents so consumed with thier own training that they are just dropping their kids in front of the TV or with an electronic device to keep them busy? And on top of that, giving these kids shit to eat to keep them happy? Crazy!! These parents should know better.
My kids are not perfect eaters. Not even close. We do our best to include a healthy variety with every meal. They also watch TV and ipods, DS, etc... But, they are active as can be. I feel it is VERY important to involve your kids in YOUR TRAINING. I know it can sometimes be a pain in the ass, but they need to understand that you find thier fitness as important as your own.
Don't be an ASS! Get your kids moving.
